The Czech President Petr Pavel has announced that the country will deliver artillery rounds to Ukraine. The transfer will include 50,000 rounds of ammunition this month and next month. The aim is to supply Ukraine with a total of 500,000 rounds of ammunition by the end of the year. Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský stated that the first batch of Czech ammunition had already arrived in Ukraine, consisting of 50,000 rounds. The Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, Petr Fiala, confirmed that the first batch of artillery ammunition purchased under the Czech initiative had arrived in Ukraine as well. The first part of the 180,000 rounds of ammunition will be financed by a German contribution.
The Czech Republic has managed to locate approximately 500,000 155-mm artillery shells and 300,000 122-mm shells abroad. They have also reported that an additional 200,000 artillery shells have been found, although details on the caliber or other information have not been provided. Contracts were signed in April to purchase the first 180,000 rounds of ammunition. Czech President Petr Pavel made the announcement regarding the delivery of the ammunition at the Munich Security Conference earlier this year. The origins of the initiative to supply Ukraine with artillery rounds are not explicitly mentioned in the article.
